Having identity documents, Social Security, and other legal records that accurately reflect one’s actual name and gender is critical for a transgender
and gender-expansive people. At Whitman-Walker Health we can help!

We assist clients from DC, Maryland and Virginia with obtaining name changes and gender marker changes on their legal documents including updating licenses,
birth certificates, Social Security records, passports, school records and more.

We also offer a monthly Name and Gender Change Clinic in collaboration with TransLAW, where trained
attorneys meet one-on-one with people to provide counseling and assistance with the name and gender change processes, including obtaining court orders,
changing drivers’ licenses, passports, birth certificates, and other identity documents and public records. We can also help clients to collect needed
letters from your medical providers and to seek assistance with court fees, where appropriate.

The monthly clinics are by appointment only.

Interested clients please call or email Lee Hicks at 202.939.7627 or lhicks@whitman-walker.org or Leonor Suarez at 202.939.7630 or lsuarez@whitman-walker.org to set up an appointment and for further information. Clinics
are located at Whitman-Walker Health’s 1525 14th Street NW location.
